Abstract

Population inversion is observed between the field independent, ground hyperfine states of 87Rb using an optical pumping technique which is applicable to a large number of species of atoms and ions. Inversion occurs upon a coherent transfer of angular momentum to the 87Rb spin system from circularly polarized light propagating in a transverse direction to a magnetic field. Coherenc is established by modulating, at certain frequencies, the light intensity or magnetic field strength.
